Make your own henna paste

You can buy henna paste cones easily, including from our webshop; if you are beginning to learn, this would be a good way to start. However, it is best to buy good-quality natural henna powder and freshly make the paste yourself.

Materials required:

Natural henna powder

Sifting box (or you can make one with an old stocking and a plastic container)

Keep stirring and add water till you have the consistency a little thinner than mashed potatoes. Exact amount of water will differ for different types and even batches of henna powder.

Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap or bag, and let it rest till it starts becoming brownish. It will usually take 4-12 hours depending on temperature. The hotter the day is, the faster will the henna paste be ready. At about 30-degrees Celsius, it should take about 4 hours.
